The White Book - Winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature

WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE: shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2018, this is a stunning meditation on the colour white; about light, about death and about ritual.

From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other. The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things. It is a book about mourning, rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life.

Translated from the Korean by Deborah Smith.
